Cotton sheets were once regarded as the best type of sheets available. Comfortable and reliable, they covered the beds of many around the world for years. However, in more recent times, the introduction of bamboo sheets has seen many change their habits from cotton to sheets to bamboo sheets, for a variety of reasons.
Cleanliness whilst cotton sheets are considered to be a clean material, bamboo sheets are known for their antibacterial qualities. From the time they begin growing throughout the process of being manufactured into sheets and laid on a bed, bamboo has natural qualities that repels and eliminates most forms of antibacteria. Furthermore, whilst cotton sheets may appear clean after many washes, bamboo sheets can be washed time and time again, only slightly affecting the materials antibacterial qualities.
Luxury many say that nothing beats the feeling of getting into a bed with brand new, crisp cotton sheets. However, for those people who then try sleeping in bamboo sheets, the saying in regards to cotton sheets is soon forgotten. Bamboo sheets offer many properties of high grade Egyptian cotton or silk sheets, but with none of the negative aspects. Soft against the skin, warm when needed but breathable for the most comfortable nights sleeps, bamboo sheets are widely cited as the most comfortable form of bed linen on the market today.
Price one of the only benefits cotton sheets have over bamboo sheets is the fact that they are generally somewhat cheaper. Due to the greater popularity of cotton, cotton sheets are currently more widely available. However, with the increase in popularity of bamboo sheets and the demand currently only being matched to the supply, more and more bamboo is being grown around the world to meet this increasing demand of bamboo sheets. In the future, once bamboo sheets are more widely manufactured, this should reduce the price quite considerably and make them more much more affordable to all.
For those who are looking for a sheet with a price tag between that of 100% cotton and 100% bamboo sheets, a mix of both may be more suitable. Generally consisting of two thirds cotton and one third bamboo, bamboo-cotton mix sheets provide a fantastic insight into simply how comfortable pure bamboo sheets can be.
